Having been a Johnny Cash fan since the mid 1960's, I closed my eyes when Merle impersonated Johnny, and I actually got chills down my spine.... Dead-on PERFECT impression....

I was blessed to see Merle with Bonnie Owns in the late 1970's at Harrah's dinner show in Reno. Our tàble was right at the stage. Such a great show. He didn't talk too much, except to introduce the Strangers, but a good 3 hours of music.
